I heard that in some places it’s very nearly one in one out, which seems too good to be true, and that the pressure on intensive care is minimal. But given that patients are younger on average they are easier to discharge, don’t need care home places, that would help. On the news just now on a Covid ward in UCH the nurse managers said they were very busy, but nothing like last year, and it’s staff absences which are causing the problems. In this ward they noted in one bay there were 4 patients, all with covid but all being treated by different consultants because of other conditions……
…..very complex stuff and very easy to oversimplify, which I am often guilty of. Johnson is spectacularly unsuited to explaining stuff like this.
As I understand it, Djokovic has refused to discuss his vaccination status, rather than necessarily being an anti-vaxxer, saying his medical history is a private matter… which it actually is.
True, its his business.

I'm deadset against favoritism in sport. If the rules says, all players need to abide by rules set to enter the country / play in a tournament, he has the choice to go either way but not to make up his own rules that fly in the face of everything set in place.
Supposedly, he and or the officials have found a loop hole.
I wonder if they would've found it for him if he was ranked 95th in the world?
I personally don't like him because he is proven in displaying bad sportsmanship throughout his career ............. now, he has given me another reason.
It's a requirement to enter a pub here
Funnily enough I have never been asked to show it at my local
Wearing a mask into but not while inside is also a requirement
Another stupid rule the owners and staff have not insisted on for the regulars
This is exactly what's making me so frustrated.
It's not a deadly version of covid that is causing all these staff absentees, it's this ridiculous situation where people who are completely well have to isolate.
Yes, they could pass it on, but as it's now only a mild illness surely we need to live with it!!?
I heard on the wireless this morning that it’s estimated that around a million people are currently self-isolating in the UK having had positive tests. I wonder how many have mild to no symptoms whatsoever and, were they to not isolate, whether all they’d pass on would be the same?
Do you get paid while you are self isolating
I suspect those on normal employment contracts do, but the self-employed and ‘zero hours’ folk won’t.
I suspect those on normal employment contracts make up the majority of self isolationists
